Yeah today is the second week and we've yet to see an update.
Its either theyve gotten lazy OR
There saving up and waiting till they drop the X pack.
Im hoping for option two
Two weeks. No update. Pissed off

You're pissed off? Sheesh, you're spoiled by their regular updates. Most games go two weeks without an update and it's totally normal. Relax, will ya?
eventhorizen
Well they certainly havent been spending the time fixing the European server lag.
Maybe theyve all gone off on their summer holidays?

I dont see why you are getting annoyed about it, I think so far Anet has given us plenty of updates in relativly short spaces of time. Im sure they're working on the next update at the moment, (infact im certain of it). Fair enough you have to wait but so what, the longer the wait the bigger the update.

The lag issues in european servers are critical, it taken about a week to even state they were aware of then.
I doubt they will be fixed any time soon ... that is the price of playing (and living) in europe.

There was an update last Friday, July 22, 2005.

Oh no ... another one.

Well if the post about the "Brand the Boss" contest on the official GW site is any indication, we are at least 2 weeks away from the release of the summer update. I figure they'll just incorporate all the minor tweaks they've been working on into that big update and apply them all at once. I wouldn't panic... I'm sure ANet is still "on the case".

Thanks Drakron. You are absolutely right that there was a small patch last week. But...it was a patch nonetheless.

Seriously, how hard is it to read the thousands of complaints about the Europe servers, test and make sure its true, realize that the lag won't go away just by waiting, and write 2-3 lines to the public acknowledging the problem? They could have done this all in 15min after someone called it to their attention, maybe a day or 2 if they wanted to try to fix it first.
Zaklex
Rest assured, there will be another update before the X pack comes out, more likely there will be several updates before then. Will there be one this week, can't say, aren't told that information. As for the lag in the European servers, that I believe is a hardware issue and won't be fixed by a patch, they are still investigating and trying to isolate the problem.
Lasareth
I'm hoping for a live update with the new areas soon... or at least some info on it. Anet's so hush-hush...

We wanted to share a bit of information about a recent problem that has shown itself to some players in the European regions. We have received reports of varying degrees of lag, where previously European Guild Wars players experienced excellent latency and great overall game performance. We are definitely aware of the situation, and are actively working on a solution right now. While we are not able to give a timeline for when the problem will be fully resolved, investigating and correcting this problem is a very high priority for us.
We would like to extend an apology for the current situation, and to express our thanks for your patience as we correct it.

To Tuna, please read the announcements on the front page. If one bothers to check before posting, a lot of things can be averted.
As for getting angry that there has been no significant update in the last two weeks, please remember that ANet was never obligated to have a regular scheduled update each Wednesday. That they have continued to keep the schedule says wonderful things about the company. However, it doesn't change the fact that it's a privilege, not a right.
Also, to the next person who results to sprouting vulgar language on these boards, emotional outburst or not, I have a nice little warning with your name on it.

Of course I read their statement but my original post was about the time it took to write those 5 sentances. If I recall correctly the European servers were having problems for a substantial amount of time, but I could be wrong.
Aradia Ashkal
Its only 6:30 cst which means its only 4:30 in Cali where im pretty sure anet is...why do u already assume they wont be an update?
And even if there isnt do we NEED one? Besides the euro lag which they have addressed and said they are doing their best to fix it is there something so wrong with the game that it needs to be addressed right this second? I dont recall them ever promising new content once a week.

(Correct me if I'm wrong, Aradia) |
You are right. Im not entirly sure where the confusion came from though because i said Besides the Euro lag there arent any major issues and they had made a staement that they are working on them and will have it fixed as fast as they can. They certianly did not say theyd have it done by today so Im not sure why anyone would expect it to be and be pissed that its not. Maybe if they had not even aknowledged it I would understand but they can only do so much.
Anet isnt just some entiy whos soul meaning is to work 24 hrs a day trying to do everything every fan asks for. They are made up of real people with real lives outside of making weekly updates to please players. I think we should all be hella more thankful for all that they do do. I dont know very mny devs who post of fansites and interact with players.
To me it just sounds like the old saying "give people an inch and they want a mile"
dargon
No, go and soil your pants, prove how immature your acting. I'm very happy to have a development team that listens to players comments, implements some of the good ones and is VERY responsive in general with regards to technical issues. Do certain things fall through the cracks on occasion? Certainly, no way to avoid it, especially when your dealing with thousands of things each day. They are pretty good though with the ones that get caught. I don't know about any of you, but in general, 5pm rolls around, I'm looking to go home and forget about work. Given that I've recieved tech support responses (non-generic) from an actual human being at 6:46PM, color me impressed.
PieXags
While I would love to see the updated 15k tormentors set, I'm a patient person and am pleased with all the devs have been doing with the game, they've responded to most every major issue out there, they work hard and put out good results on a (relatively) regular basis.
That's good enough for me.

I haven't had any issues with the frequency of the updates, just with the quality. So, be patient, updates are surely to come, they recently stopped doing weekly patches and are concentrating on rolling them into larger ones. Kind, of defeats the purpose of the almighty steaming capabilities, but it seems fine, at least we aren't getting 200 mb updates, or anythnig crazy like that!
Whether they fix all the PvP and PvE issues, well, we have no guarantees on that, which is my biggest concern with the game. But that's off-topic...

Did you miss all of the in game trade spam, the pick-up group problems, and this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=37259 ?
KuTeBaka
Please show me where it says that they must update every week.
trade spam is something you have to deal with. PUG problems are non-existant if you use henchies, and skills are already pretty balanced.
now, why dont you do something useful like give them suggestions on HOW to update.

Take your time Anet, not all of us want to rush you like the zerg

They can fix the trade spam problem by adding in an auction house (something that has been requested since the early beta days), they can fix the pick up group problem by allowing people looking for a group to go to a profession specific list from which group leaders can choose which players they want, and most skills might be balanced, but the ones that aren't balanced are destroying the PvP half of the game.
Now, why don't you do something useful like not telling me ways to avoid a problem but instead start pointing out problems and finding ways to fix them.

Request for next update....
Take 200,000 gold out of my account and give me a 15-28 gold +20% >50% half moon of tenguslaying (preferebly with dmg+300% vs tengu)
No seriously...fix the European lag and fix what needs fixing.
I left my home territory soon after getting the game so i wouldn't have to go international all the time to be with my American allies.
I went over to the european servers to see if they had better loot (lol) and the lag was insane.
I was like "WTF?!!!11". No lag upon leaving...go back and it's chaos.
A battle consists of a long pause followed by streams of simultaneous numbers and instant death. Not fun.
Fix their lag...poor bastages.

Fixing issues that people just dont like about the game doesnt even compare. You can play the game just fine. Now if they do listen and address those issues like they have in the past I think it is something above and beyond what they have to do. I havent seen very many games in the past that have taken what the fans have said to heart as well as Anet has. If they arent doing it fast enough for you thats your issue not theirs.
